Chapter 41: There is a problem

To be reasonable, Octavir felt quite lucky, because the Alliance didn't seem to use the plague virus when they infiltrated and wreaked havoc this time, otherwise the situation would definitely be more serious and dangerous than it is now. Of course, this is not to say that the alliance is sticking to some kind of bottom line, the other side is simply worried that if the virus is misused, it will have a negative impact on the alliance if it accidentally infects the villages inhabited by civilians, and thus lose the support of various organizations that oppose the empire.

At least that's what girls think nowadays.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess took Nangong Rong back and forth in the sky many times, and the woods on the side of the road that could hide people were carefully inspected several times, but the two of them found nothing around here except for the crops waiting to be harvested in the farmland and the fish that jumped out of the water from time to time in the small river that flowed from the farmland and near the town of Mirgan.

Octavir was naturally a little uneasy about such a result, but what made her even more unhappy was something that she was swinging at the moment. Seriously,The girl standing on the back of the flying dragon.,There is a monster with a human body and a snake tail and wings next to it.,No matter how you look at it, it's a serious magic drama.,But the girl is not wearing a gorgeous magic robe or exquisite armor.,It's a dirty and worn military uniform.,Holding a spear with magic light in her left hand, and tossing a boxy, bulky and huge metal box called a radio station.,I always feel that there's something wrong with the style of painting.。

At least Nangong Rong next to him couldn't help but have a cramp in the corners of his eyes when he saw it.

"Well, the ground reconnaissance team sent out by Duke Toronso also did not find anything out of the ordinary, and the Alliance seems to have completely escaped after attacking the troops before. After the eldest princess turned off the radio, she carried it to her back, turned her head and said to Nakyris, who was to be precise, Nangong Rong, "Having said that, you can't take it too lightly, after all, the other party is hiding in the shadows, and I don't know when he will rush out and bite us." ”

"This is really good news, it seems that those people in the alliance also need to rest and eat, and they must have made lunch when they hide far away. When Nangong Rong heard this, he suddenly sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Ahhhh

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was really shocked this time: "What, you didn't eat breakfast, why didn't you tell me when you were in a hurry?"

Dry food such as compressed biscuits were provided in the army, but the smell was so unpleasant that the teenager had no intention of having it as a meal. In addition, the boy is located in a safe rear that can provide normal meals stably in the past few days, so he has never received these emergency rations at all.

Naturally, it is impossible to take it with you on the road.

Who knew that as soon as Octavier's words fell, Nangong Rong couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot, although the girl couldn't see the young man's expression at the moment: "To be reasonable, how could I have eaten breakfast so early, Nakiris, but he is a creature that eats during the day and pulls at night, and he is especially everywhere around the camp!" After being warmly greeted by the muscular brothers of the artillery unit for Nakiris's hot flying problem, I decided to clean up the biological waste created by my pets every morning, so as not to affect the mood and appetite of others. So, when Your Highness the Eldest Princess found me, I didn't actually return to the tent after breakfast, but had just finished cleaning and was about to go to the cafeteria. ”

After being silent for a long time, the eldest princess, who recalled that the snake girl Lori did have some strange habits, changed her face to an expression full of sympathy and understanding, and said indifferently: "Thank you for your hard work, shovel officer." ”

Deacenston, behind the defensive position on the outskirts of Ridana, sneezed so hard for no apparent reason that his nose almost flew out.

Of course, Nangong Rong didn't know what happened to someone at the moment, and still said to himself: "If you really think I'm hard, let us have a good meal at noon, or let me go down to the woods to hunt now, although there is no possibility of large prey in this place, there should be no shortage of wild ducks and wild birds." ”

Originally, Octavier planned to tell Nangong Rong directly that he would let him go to the queue to eat by himself when the army was cooking, but after hearing that the young man was going to hunt by himself, her careful thinking was also activated, and finally the ghost sent such a sentence.

"Yes, as long as you can catch a wild duck, I will personally make you a roast duck at noon to add to the meal. ”

Under the influence of the subtle and arrogant girlish heart, Octavier has naturally succeeded in attracting Nangong Rong's attention in this way, but it is obviously in another way. Because the boy's whole person became frightened in an instant, even if the girl couldn't see his reaction, she could guess a thing or two just by listening to the other party's trembling tone.

"Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess Naniβ€”β€”!? what did you just say, you want to cook for me yourself!?"

Nangong Rong's honorific title reminded Octavir of her noble status, but since the words had already been spoken, she didn't plan to take them back so casually, so she pouted with an unhappy look on her face and said: "No one can care what I plan to do, so you don't have to worry about being gossiped behind your back, this is just a little compensation for the fact that I dragged you out in the morning without saying anything." ”

However, the young man did not appreciate this, but his complaint became sharper: "No, no, no, gossip behind my back is trivial, what I am really worried about is that I will be caught and tied to a pillar and burned with fire, and whether you will roast the wild duck that I have hunted with great difficulty into a dark dish in the shape of a charred black mosaic!"

Nakiris's whole body trembled and fell from the sky, flapping his wings indiscriminately to stabilize his flying posture, and then sighed with admiration luck: "Young man, you are a brave person who truly dares to evaluate Taver's cuisine correctly, and I will always remember you." ”

"What the hell is going on with this statement that it looks like I'm dead!"

"Of course, it's because it's fun. Also, I was just joking about my daily routine, and Taver actually cooks delicious food, I've tasted it before. ”

This time it's Nangong Rong's turn to be completely stunned, what did the snake girl Lori say just now, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess cooks deliciously?

Octavir closed his eyes and clenched his fists in his mouth and coughed vigorously: "Nakiris, don't make trouble, Nangong Rong, you don't need to be surprised, cooking when my father is still alive is one of my interests, although I can't make the kind of exaggerated cuisine that will shine when the lid is lifted, and I haven't had time to cook it myself recently, maybe it's a little rusty, but at least the taste can still be guaranteed." ”

Could this really be the rhythm of letting the eldest princess cook the cooking herself? Considering the huge number of people in the girl's fan support group, Nangong Rong suddenly felt that it was safer to refuse the other party's kindness.

"I'm really grateful for that, yes, but sure enough, forget it, otherwise I would definitely not be able to eat and walk around if the Duke knew about it. ”

It's a pity that the girl didn't eat this, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone: "Duke Toronso can't afford to offend, so who gave you the illusion that I can afford to provoke?"

β€œ...... I'm so sorry, I'm going to hunt right now, and I'm sure you can show off your cooking skills at noon!"

What else can Nangong Rong, who is full of tears and black lines on his head, say at this moment? After weighing the two sides, the young man decisively chose to give in to the powerful forces, after all, the barbecue of the FFF group and the fault finding fault of the old man Toronso were nothing at all in the face of Octavier's anger.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's voice sounded again as Nakiris turned to leave: "That's right, yes, remember to shoot a few more wild ducks, don't forget my share with Nakiris." ”

The desperate boy could only land to the ground with a messy mood in the wind.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”I'm the dividing line in juvenile huntingβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Farmland, forests, and nearby rivers as water sources and hunting grounds are simply the most suitable habitat for birds, and after asking for a rifle from the army in the face of Octavier, Nangong Rong is very comfortable doing his old job.

After successfully startling a large flock of birds with the sound of gunfire and attracting an Imperial ground reconnaissance team, the boy exchanged a few packets of chocolates from the GIs with a wild duck he had hit, and he immediately threw himself into his work with greater enthusiasm.

As for Nakiris, who was lolitized next to him, became Nangong Rong's assistant, and every time the boy killed the wild duck, the thing would fly out, just like Wang Xingren, who was loyal and righteous...... Ahem, in short, this girl quickly kept several birds in her hand, including wild ducks and geese, and Nangong Rong decisively decided to stop when she saw this.

A true hunter will never shoot all his prey at once.

"That's pretty much it, let's go back. Nangong Rong said to Nakiris, whose hands were full of birds, as if he was going out to buy a plastic bag, "Why don't you let me get it?"

"No, Miss Ben's strength is comparable to that of a human like yours as a scumbag 5, don't look down on people. Nakiris's expression of hesitation suddenly appeared, and he turned his head to look deeper into the woods and said, "However, I found something strange in the process ......of picking up prey, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

Nangong Rong didn't pay too much attention to this, and asked absentmindedly while packing up his rifle, "Oh, what kind of strange thing is it?"

"In addition to the one you killed, I have seen the carcasses of other birds in the woods, and I have not found any external injuries on their bodies. ”

"Maybe the old bird, who had been suffering from heart disease for a long time, was scared to death by the gunshots. ”

"Your jokes aren't funny at all, but I'm sure it's not. "If there were only one or two, I would have believed the birds that died of old age and disease, but the problem is that there are many birds that have died, and it is not because they have collectively eaten pesticide-sprayed grains, right?"

This is indeed a little strange, it is better to say that it is not normal at all, Nangong Rong, who was already ready to call it a day, couldn't help but stop after hearing the snake girl Lori say this, and after thinking about it for a while, he tilted his head at the other party and said, "Take me over to see." ”

After all, it's not far from the town, and the big army is marching towards the town, so it's not good if something strange really happens that affects the army. Even if the birds died en masse just because the townspeople sprayed too much pesticides, Nangong Rong had to figure it out before the main force arrived.

Under the leadership of Nakiris, Nangong Rong quickly found the dead bird corpses, there were more than a dozen of them just from a cursory look, and they should be like ordinary birds.

"It's a waterfowl. The young man, who was a hunter, saw these birds about the size of domestic chickens, and immediately recognized their species, squatted down and grabbed one of them, put them in his hand, and looked at them carefully, and muttered, "There are indeed no external injuries, and it is not easy to judge whether it is poisoned or not." It's strange, if it's because of pesticides on the grain, it's not the turn of the water birds?"

"Because poison is not a pesticide. The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly lit up the watch screen and interjected, "I detected a very faint abyss aura on these poor little guys, and they should have died directly because they were too small to withstand erosion and infection." I'm guessing they've probably eaten something with abyssal energy, or drunk infected water, but the real problem is the river near town. ”

When Nangong Rong heard this, he suddenly couldn't stop sweating because he thought of something very terrifying: "Qiaodou sack, do you mean that the group of souls of the alliance finally couldn't help but poison the river water!?"

"What kind of poison, the river water eroded by the energy of the abyss will completely change color, it looks like sewage just discharged from the factory, not to mention that people and animals won't drink it when they see it, okay?" After giving the young man a contemptuous look, the system also typed the words [Care for the Mentally Handicapped] on the screen by the way, making Nangong Rong only feel that his blood pressure instantly increased a lot, "Even if these water birds are all stupid and drink that kind of river water, they will only die on the spot and will not wait until they fly back to their own territory before they are poisoned to death." Therefore, the river water should not be polluted on a large scale. ”

Under the pressure of the urge to pick up the stone and greet it on the watch screen, Nangong Rong tried to calm down and said, "If it's not the river sailor who polluted it, then what's going on?"

"The river itself is fine, but the problematic thing is in the river. ”
